Thirty years successful use Of salt
upon all kinds of crops has proved its
value to me says an English writer.
1t should not be used on cold, heavy or
moist soils, and, if fanyone does, he will

harm than good. 1t should not be cast
upon very young and tender plants of
any kind, as will be very sure to kill
them. Judgement should be employed

TIE USUAL RESULT.

1t is not to be denied that a good
sewing machine is one of tine most
important appurtenances Of the mod
ern household.
We thought we had a good ma
chine until one day the agent of the
New Home presented himself at our
door and proceeded 10 deliver All ora
tion upon its characteristic merits.
"But," we answered, "our ma
chine suits us well and we do not
care for another"
The agent, however, begged the
privilege of leaving one of his ma
chimes will, US, for the ladies' to try.'
The request Was not unreasonable,
so we granted it-but more to oblige
the agent than anything else; for we
really did not want the machine, and
had not the re motest idea os buying it
The machine once in the house, it
was natural that the ladies' should
look it over; they did So, and as u
consequence fell in love with it. They
say that without the slightest wish
to decrt or disparagc any other ma
chine, this, all things considered, is,
in their opinion, the most desirable
one to be had.
This unrivaled machine is manu-
faciured by the NEW HOME SEW
ING CO., Orange, Mass, and 30
Union Square, New York.
